Having a wedding was fun, but I have had a way better time enjoying the marriage that has come afterward. And every year when we hit our anniversary, I know it is something deserving of a celebration. That being said – we don’t always have the finances or the time to go on an all-out romantic trip to Paris, so we have to be creative with our wedding anniversary date ideas!

Even if you aren’t able to take an anniversary trip (like everyone else on Instagram seems to do), your anniversary date doesn’t have to be boring or typical!

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY DATE IDEAS

Laugh together at a comedy club

Go back to the spot of your first date

Take a cooking class

Go stargazing – um, hello romantic!

Have a parkside picnic

Take a spontaneous road trip

Go hiking

Get professional photos taken – When was the last time you had good pictures taken? Probably your wedding!

Get a couples massage

Netflix (and chill) – add-on fancy take out to combat the casual sweatpants attire of this date

Volunteer together – I try every year to get my husband to volunteer at an animal shelter with me because I know we will come home with another dog. But he is totally on to me.

Have a staycation – Pro-tip: if you book your other hotel stays through Hotels.com, you can get a free night and use that for your anniversary!

Go to a concert

Have a ballroom lesson – substitute ballroom for “golf” or “tennis” if your spouse has only agreed to dance once – and it was at your wedding

Make dinner at home – Get a service like SunBasket delivered so that you don’t have to struggle with the guesswork but still get to have the experience of cooking together. Get $35 off your SunBasket order because you are my friend!

Pottery Making Class

Set up a backyard movie night – like a drive-in movie, but easier to find.

Go ice skating/roller skating

Camping – or glamping – or just staying in a hotel somewhere near the woods

Visit a museum

Go to a baseball game

Run a race – you can train for the race together which gives you some great quality time!

Rewatch your wedding video – I have heard of families doing this with their kids and calling it a “Family Birthday Celebration”. Great way to celebrate with your kids and honoring the day you officially started your family!

Game night – a little one on one competition can be a really fun date night

No matter what you do for your anniversary, be sure to acknowledge what a big deal it is that you have hit another milestone! Marriage is awesome, but we all know that you didn’t get to your anniversary without putting lots of work together and encouragement of the other person!
